Welp, the big tournament in Kuroko is over. Now do they end on this note even when they could go further forward (Slam Dunk method), or do they make a team of all-stars and take on AMERICA!? (Eyeshield 21 method)

So I feel like I have to comment about how amazing this week World Trigger (the one officially released yesterday, not the one that gets leaked tomorrow) was. I really love this series. It is amazing, and the end of the war arc is finally in sight. Awesome aftermath for last week's battle, and I look forward to seeing the aftermath of the attack at the end of this chapter. Would be my chapter of the week were it not for One Piece having a great ending (and teasing that we might finally have Robin fight someone of merit).

Fate/kaleid 2wei is the shit. It's amazing how this show can have episodes of total silliness where nothing much happens (though they're still amusing) and yet also have some of the best friggin fight scenes I've ever seen in anime. Best show this season ;)

And while we're on the topic of next season, the new Fate/Stay Night is finally here! I'm totally psyched to see what Ufotable does with it. Been a real wealth of Fate animes lately.

Urge, the most mecha I've seen in one season and only one of them interests me. Well, better than none at least. Also, World Trigger yay! Might check out Fate/Stay Night and Inou-Battle if I feel like it. Psycho-Pass S2 looks cool, but I gotta see the first still. Otherwise nothing else interests me.

I see that there is already a (3 year old) thread about it, but I'd just like to re-iterate that Now and Then, Here and There is probably the best Anime this side of Cowboy Bebop. It starts out lighthearted and then takes one of those From Dusk til Dawn style out of nowhere mood shifts a few eps in. It goes from "lolz school bullies..womp wommmmmp" to "holy shit all those children just got murdered and I'm pretty sure that one girl got raped every day for months on end". Brilliant brillaint stuff.

Also I just caught the Blade of the Phantom Master movie on Netflix. It was intriguing (and dark, as per my usual anime tastes) enough to really pique my interest. The history and mythos of the world they live in is really well fleshed out (at least in the manga). Such a shame they've never made the manga into a proper television series.

So I just noticed (not sure how I missed it before) that Kiseijuu is getting an anime next season. Got to say that I'm pretty surprised. In case you don't know, Kiseijuu is an old sci-fi horror manga. It's pretty good, but it finished its run back in 1995 and as far as I am aware was never made into any sort of franchise property beyond the original manga. So it's interesting (and kind of refreshing, honestly) that they would dig it up to be animated now instead of something more recent.

It wasn't smart of me seeing that series in the span of one or two days with depression years ago. That said, it was still an interesting series that I manage to appreciate the value of what it was doing.
